i have now received a letter from the court saying the claimant has been sent the defence and will have 28 days to respond. not sure i noted that in the 12 steps? hopefully progressing as expected.

This is normal and expected.  Next correspondence will be the N180 form "Directions Questionnaire".

qwamoo

thats great

qwamoo

have tried to add a digital signature the N180 form but it seems to disappear beneath the PDF! i have put it next to the box but the question is- is that okay or does the form need a signature right underneath which will require printing and scanning back in.

Should be OK. It is only a N180 form.

i have now received the letter for mediation- just to be sure of contacts, i have written to the mediation service to provide my details again 

qwamoo

have now completed my mediation call. some how they reckoned that they would reduce the "fine" significantly after my gesture of goodwill. i said i would only pay that and so now were off to the next stage.

While your case is quiet before the expected late discontinuance, don't disappear!

We need you! Please read this message and take time this month to do the vital current Public Consultation:

It's important that the Government hears from people like you with unfair charges who are dealing with threats of scary court claims. That's when you win ... but most people don't know that these cases are a greedy scam and are winnable.

The link shows the two vital points to concentrate on, IMHO:

- banning 'fee' add-ons completely.

- making sure a new SINGLE appeals service replaces POPLA and the IAS which are seen as not fully independent and involved in a 'race to the bottom'.

Click through to the main thread about the Consultation.

Do not be deterred by the fact that some questions are for the parking industry only.

We are currently discussing how to respond. Please join us in doing this Consultation before it closes in three weeks. This is your one chance to make a difference re the proper regulation of private parking.
